Vigilantes Review

7.8Total Score

Very Good

Vigilantes is a hidden gem for XCOM look alike games lovers where the atmosphere settles on a Mafia theme. It is an impressive mix of Jagged, Xcom and other RPG strategy games. Reiker City has fallen into shambles, rising crime and the establishment of three separate rings made room for chaos. You follow the main character Sam Contino, who has decided to take things into his own hands, literally. The objective seems to be to eliminate the criminal presence in the city by killing all 3 crime bosses. Along the way, you improve in stats, gain allies, and commandeer loot in your victories against the Mafia, Survivalists and religious zealots. Create a gang, craft the base you ever wanted and accomplish the authority over other gangs in order to be the real godfather of the city. Its very playable in its current form and the combat mechanics are satisfying and fun. Great game. The atmosphere is incredible. The gameplay is solid. Always fun to crack skulls, rest and retool at base or explore blocks on the map.
